ARCH1101 Task

This is a picture of the moon I took on my phone when I was out at night. I was just amazed by how beautiful and clear the night sky looked. I was also fascinated by the contrast between the light shining from the moon and the black sky in the background.




This is the 'Water Cube'. I chose this because I was really impressed by its clever design. Although it is called the Cube, it is actually a cuboid (rectangular box)! Also 25 swimming records were broken there during the 2008 Olympics. The design of the Cube was a result of teamwork. The square was chosen due to its symbolism of Chinese culture and the bubbles were chosen to represent water.




This is the screenshot of my work from the Yr12 Software Design and Development Major Works Exhibition. I used Visual Basic 6.0 to create a "Multi-media Player". Its capabilities include: *Opening and playing different multimedia files (video and music i.e mp3, wmv, avi, mpeg etc...)*"Visualisations" feature (visualisations playing in the video display pane)*Ability to create and save playlists *Very simple and clear graphical user interface. Ease of use.I wrote all the coding for it myself (the sleepless nights involved with the lengthy coding were proudly assisted by Coke, Tea, Coffee and Doritos!). I also designed the graphical user interface using Adobe Photoshop and created the flash visualisations (using some flash program, I think Dreamweaver?). Everything in this program is original (and legit).




Clearing by Fiona Hall: nature, coexist, vibrant


Invocations by Tracey Moffat: hallucination, humanize, petrified

According to Artnet, this is a printed photograph in ultra-violet inks on textured Somerset Satin paper. She has used early 20th century Southern American fiction and fantasy films as her inspiration. Her aim is to try to unsettle the viewer by being confrontational. This is an example of her exploring narratives in gothic settings. Here, in particular she is telling a menacing fairytale. Further, according to the Rena Bransten Gallery, she made complex sets and then filmed two stories with one of the scenes focussing on a young female character. This young character is going through an enchanted forest inhabited by witches, monsters etc. It has been described as ‘Disney meets Goya landscape’.


Directives by Rosalie Gascoigne: chaos, shift, directional

The materials used are yellow reflective road signs. She constructed this piece by collecting road signs and arranging them in an artistic manner. They are pointing in different directions and are placed on wooden material. Further, she had mentioned that her art materials "need to have been open to the weather". The materials are in their natural state to allow them to tell their own story. The main element of this work is a grid divided up reflecting ideas of Modernism. There is an overall linear foundation against which her work was constructed. Her inspiration comes from the harsh Mt Stromlo environment she lived in. Her aim is to show us the beauty in ordinary things that make a reference to terrain and climate.
